Research Area

The goal of sub-project TP2 is to develop base knowledge on mesoscopic modeling of asphalt behavior under climatic influences and traffic loads. This mesoscopic model is going to be used in highly loaded structural sections of the pavement such as the load path and will serve as a tool to design more durable pavements in future. In particular the asphalt material is considered to be a three phase material that consists of a solid phase (aggregates), a viscose phase (asphalt-mortar) and the pore-air. The aggregates are modeled by means of ellipsoidal 3d-discrete elements that are covered by a layer of asphalt-mortar. The layer of asphalt- mortar consists of binder (bitumen), filler, sand and additives if applicable. Normal contact between the aggregates is considered as linear elastic Hertzian pressure if neighboring grains are in direct contact. If grains are in contact through their layer of mortar a special contact- force-displacement-relationship is used to capture the grain interaction. This relationship will be established based on the microscale material experiments of TP4 and micromechanical simulations. For tangential contact stick/slip contact, rolling and tangential contact will be considered. As for the normal contact, experiments as well as simulations will be carried out to intensively study the tangential contact behavior. Besides the analysis of compacted asphalt, the meso-model will also be used to capture compaction processes. The model will be calibrated based on the results of an extensive laboratory program. The mesomodel will be coupled to a macro-model (TP1) to allow for multi-scale analysis.

Goals

Development of models for the analysis of dense and porous asphalts considering the specific building material structure and composition of material component level,
Consideration of all relevant specific road construction factors, consisting of the specific production and compression methods,
Targeted inclusion of road specific factors in the models result from movement of the traffic or the loads and the unevenness and grip of the road surface,
Inclusion of specific constitutive behavior of the material components in the models and the analysis process and provision of experimental basis for the characterization of the (constitutive) properties,
Description of phase interactions between the solids and pore water in pavements with open surface layers and pavement structures with targeted water permeability
Development of numerically efficient algorithms for implementing the meso- model in a macroscopic model.
